  • I've finally vacated my flat, after nightmarish weeks of hefting plant pots, sneakers, and medical textbooks down the stairs. On the night I left I spotted a new Banksy Rat right outside the front door. Omen or what? Meanwhile a little way along my new old street Banksy has been causing even more of a commotion.

  • Utter origami sickness.

  • My new mobile phone has more memory than my brain. That's not humbling, it's just depressing. I actually have no faith at all in the experimental methodology here, but it's a fascinatingly low estimate of brain power.

  • House of 1000 Corpses 2: "two gangs of bloodthirsty bodily mutilation enthusiasts" go on a "bloody roadtrip". HooTC was simply the most enjoyable scary movie all last year; it just cranked and cranked the sickening psycho/flesh torture levels until you wanted to sneak into the next theatre to see Finding Nemo. The sequel has my buzz-a-rific seal of approval.

  • Hamlet: the text adventure is good, but as warned earlier this week Weboggle is really where it's at in online games. It's so addictive I've been brushing up my 3 and 4 letter words. My top rank from roughly 25 games of 4x4 Boggle is 2nd (from a field of 50ish), whereas the 5x5 heads have me totally beat. Like Adam Yauch says: "I'm the King of Boggle, There is none higher, I get eleven points off the word QUAGMIRE." (But remember if you're playing QUAGMIRE, don't forget to put down QUAG and MIRE separately too.)

  • Marilyn Vos Savant (who popularised the Monty Hall Problem, and has the Guinness record for world's highest IQ) is sometimes wrong.

  • Krushchev to Nixon: "Don't you have a machine that puts food into the mouth and pushes it down? Many things you've shown us are interesting but they are not needed in life... We have a saying, if you have bedbugs you have to catch one and pour boiling water into the ear." Discover the incredible story behind the $9,999 Leisurama prefab beach house.

  • "Seiko Epson does not have an immediate plan to commercialize the new robot. That will depend on how much popularity it acquires, said Seiko Epson." The new robot is so fricking cool, he probably drinks shots of Jagermeister for breakfast, and has group sex with Peabs and Coz. If you all visit the link he will get more popular, and then maybe we can all have one.

  • FEBO have this really great jingle promoting their dutch fried products. It's so good it makes me want to drop out, move to Amsterdam, become utterly dependent on primo skunk, and then satisfy the intense resultant munchies with these cholesterol bombs. Actually I kinda want to do that anyway, but the song is good.

  • Clown porn must be stopped, but raping a clown is a laughing matter.

  • Dizzee Rascal + Bobby Gillespie = Dizzee Gillespie, Keith Richards + Rick James = Richard James, Jack Black + Connie Francis = Black Francis. It's witty, it's pretty, it's Various Artists: Playing Cards.
